It seems like mobile phones have the craziest accessories, and I will have to admit that the BowBlade is one of the most cool and most unusual. Apparently, it is useful for 35 existing applications on iOS and Android. I honestly had no idea that there were any games were people could go around shooting with bows and arrows like they are in The Hunger Games. The BowBlade … [Read more...] about BowBlade turns a handset into a way to practice archery

Okay, I will have to admit that I am starting to lose track of the Bluetooth Speakers that I have been reviewing lately. Just to let you know, the dimensions of the RockSteady XS are quite small at 2" x 2" x 6.5", but it produces 100 decibels of sound, much louder than its competition. Since I talked about what makes the RockSteady XS stand out from the competition, I … [Read more...] about RockSteady XS, a small rockin’ Bluetooth Speaker

Here at The Geek Church, I tend to admire anyone who is thinking better than average. Today, it is the Dyson Airblade Tap. This product is so good, it solves a problem that I didn't even realize was a problem. Think about every time that you use a public restroom, you go to a sink, and then walk to another area to get a paper towel or that hand-blower thing. Now imagine … [Read more...] about Dyson AirBlade solves an age-old problem in the bathroom

I first saw the Orbweaver at CES at the Razer booth, and my first instinct was that it was some new kind of gaming mouse. After all, Razer is famous for making famous gaming accessories, many of them gaming mice. I can assure you when I tried it out that there was no mouse motion involved. I'm sure a lot of readers are probably wondering why in the world I thought it was … [Read more...] about The Razer Orbweaver helps you play the games from your dreams

I always like to review headphones, and I wasn't certain what to think about the VFree headphones from Velodyne. I have to admit that the packaging was rather minimalist, with just a plastic mold of the VFree headphones and some minimal info. I then charged them up and synced them to my headphones, and was prepared to test them out. My daughter happened to be in the room … [Read more...] about VFree On Ear Bluetooth Headphones from Velodyne

I have been seeing a lot of tech that turn a smartphone into a wallet, usually by making a pocket for the credit cards and money. I think the next logical step would be to create something to replace another pocket weight, the keys. This particular CalypsoKey, made by CalypsoCrystal, is an iPhone case that uses RFID chips that unlock a door within a few inches from the … [Read more...] about CalypsoKey opens a door lock with an iPhone

I saw the newKUBE at CES last month, and my first response was: does anyone listen to an MP3 player anymore? After all, most of us have a smartphone with a built-in MP3 player, so why would we want a device devoted to it? I would have to say that the primary reason for a stand-alone MP3 player is weight. The newKUBE is very small at a 22mm cube with a weight of 18 grams. … [Read more...] about newKUBE MP3 Player is a nostalgic mix of fun

While I was reviewing the cool headphones that I got from Spider the other day, I had a chance to try out this Multifunction Bluetooth Speaker. I have to admit that when I saw it on the box, I thought it was a mouse. The Bluetooth Speaker is the approximate size and shape of a mouse, but you have to admit that the controls look like that of an old MP3 player. This is not … [Read more...] about Multifunction Bluetooth Speaker from Spider

Some of you might remember when we reviewed the Cushi from idAmerica, which were essentially giant puffy stickers that give your mobile device protection. Apparently, people complained that the unique sticker protection was not enough, as idAmerica created a new and improved version. That, or the company wanted to improve on their models for the latest designs of smartphones. … [Read more...] about idAmerica Cushi Plus is new and improved

Yes, I have been reviewing a lot of Bluetooth Speakers, and I have to admit that the AWSBTSK from Acoustic Research is one of the largest. The Portable Wireless Speaker seems to be designed for tailgate parties. In fact, the AWSBTSK comes with a skin from Skinit that allows for personalization of a team logo. If you haven't heard of Skinit, they make some personalized … [Read more...] about The Portable Wireless Speaker (AWSBTSK) from Acoustic Research

I realize that this headline sounds like some sort of battle cry from some team that Spider-man would lead, but let me clarify. The PowerForce is a pair of headphones from a company known as Spider, and they are very good for those who appreciate good sound. The PowerForce has some super-soft protein-leather pads that "make one feel comfortable even after hours of … [Read more...] about Spider PowerForce, get the audiophiles!

I believe that it was the modern philosopher Francis Schaffer who believed that we are living in some Age of Non-Reason. If he was alive today, he probably would have cited the film Rubber as evidence of that. Rubber is a film by Quentin Dupieux, and it is about a tire that comes to life and starts to kill things with some odd psychic power that makes its victims explode. … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Rubber

I tried these out on some on vids that are high-quality … [Read more...] about The AR 808 Headphones from Acoustic Research

This is the third in the EnerPlex trilogy, and let's hope that it is not the Return of the Jedi of this particular three-parter. Not that "Jedi" wasn't horrible, but it did Ewok on us. Okay, today we are going to discuss the Kicker IV, another way that EnerPlex is harnessing the power of the sun. The Kickr IV is a flat panel that can fold up into a sqaure for … [Read more...] about EnerPlex Kickr IV
